Affordable and quaffable Pinot + Gamay blend. I expected to see "passe-tout-grains" on the label to indicate the cuvée, but there's no mention of the blend that I could find. Pinot Noir and Gamay are co-fermented, and the typical Jolly Rancher carbonic maceration notes are prominent, but with a lighter weight and some savory and sour-cherry overtones from the Pinot. Great every-day food-friendly wine with low ABV. If you don’t like Beaujolais for some reason, you can skip this one. Total Wine/Alfio Moriconi.

Liked for the price. Serve at 57 degrees like it recommends. Tried it the second night at room temp and amazingly not as enjoyable.

Tasty Pinot noir and gamay blend. Inexpensive, but worthy of a summery red. Acid that works well with a variety of food. Ripe red fruits, mild tannin. Would do better in a couple of years.

Nice red color with violet hues, cherry, raspberries and cedar. Soft structure with an underripe cherry finish.

Very pleasant Red Burgundy for an ordinaire wine. Good body and structure. Nice finish. Hate to say it but I used half the bottle in the Beef Bourguignon and I drank the other half while cooking. Nice

I think this is a solid summer red. It is bright with a good fruitiness and can be chilled for a hot day.

Too much, like a bad idea of a juice, nice finish though.
